Future Wi-Fi: Deterministic, Smart, Secure

Wi-Fi, a cornerstone of global wireless connectivity, is estimated to carry anywhere between 50% to 80% of the world's Internet traffic volume. Recent strides in Wi-Fi technology, exemplified by Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7, showcase remarkable achievements in meeting escalating data demands through innovations like OFDMA, wider 320 MHz channels, 4K QAM modulation, and multi-link operation, enabling aggregate peak data rates exceeding 30 Gbps. While these advancements are commendable, the future of Wi-Fi extends beyond raw speed. Anticipating the next decade, this presentation centers on the imperative for Wi-Fi to evolve into a reliable, deterministic, and intelligent network foundation. This evolution is essential to cater to emerging applications such as contextual computing, environmental sensing, multi-device experiences, gesture recognition, AR/VR, ambient and industrial IoT, and gaming. As such, in this talk, we navigate through Wi-Fi's historical journey, and its current state, and illuminate the major technological trends shaping the next decade. Emphasis is placed on the development of key technologies required to bring determinism, security, reliability and intelligence to Wi-Fi, thus addressing the diverse and complex needs of the future.
